524: Lin Xuan wanted to curse his mother

“Good, Fellow Daoist, you have a good temperament. It seems I was too fixated on appearances.”

Yun Yao praised.

The three of them had come with a belly full of anger, but their punch landed on cotton, and the suppression in their hearts was something only they truly understood.

Their gazes unconsciously fell on the Ten Thousand Souls Lotus, their expressions constantly changing.

With their eyesight, they could naturally tell that this was an innate spiritual root, and moreover, the rarest type—a divine soul spiritual root.

It was countless times more precious than an Innate Spirit Treasure.

Connecting this with Zhi Meng’s feat of slaying an Immortal King, it wasn’t hard to guess that it was due to this Ten Thousand Souls Lotus.

The Ten Thousand Souls Lotus might be able to extract a cultivator’s Dao fruit and convert it for her own use.

In truth, there were many secret arts in the world that plundered others’ Dao fruits, but without exception, they all had side effects.

Consuming too much would only lead to one’s own Dao fruit becoming impure and chaotic, causing one’s strength to decline rather than increase.

In severe cases, it could even lead to Qi deviation, loss of control over the Dao fruit, and self-annihilation into the Dao.

Therefore, even with such secret arts, one dared not wantonly plunder the Dao fruits of all living beings; one could only plunder the Dao fruits of cultivators of the same rank and slowly refine them.

However, Zhi Meng had no such concerns and wantonly plundered the Dao fruits of all living beings.

Her cultivation also increased so rapidly, and her strength far surpassed those of her rank, which defied common sense.

Unless she had the assistance of a heaven-defying supreme treasure.

Clearly, the Ten Thousand Souls Lotus was that heaven-defying supreme treasure.

At this thought, the three of them almost failed to control their desire to attack and seize it.

In an instant, they even decided which universe they would slaughter.

With the assistance of the Ten Thousand Souls Lotus, the myriad races and living beings of the Boundless Universe would all be their grand medicines.

Breaking through to Immortal Emperor Seventh Layer would be just around the corner.

“It’s good that Fellow Daoist can understand!” Zhi Meng nodded slightly, directly ignoring the fiery gazes of the three.

Mere three Immortal Emperors of the Second Layer early-stage, she didn’t even put them in her eyes.

“I apologize for any offense given earlier, and I hope Fellow Daoist will not take it to heart!” Yun Yao replied with a cupped fist.

The treasure was good, but unfortunately, they could only look.

It wasn’t as if they hadn’t witnessed Zhi Meng’s strength.

Back then, over a dozen Immortal Emperors attacking together couldn’t take down Zhi Meng, nor could they even seriously injure her.

Zhi Meng was not only powerful but also protected by a powerful supreme treasure, leaving them with vivid memories to this day.

Now, Zhi Meng had broken through to the Second Layer realm, placing her in the same domain as them, but if they truly fought, it was uncertain who would be robbing whom.

“Fellow Daoist truly has deep affection for her disciple!”

Cai Lang said with a smile.

Zhi Meng actively exposing the Ten Thousand Souls Lotus was certainly because of Gu Qing.

She wanted to help Gu Qing divert everyone’s attention, and at the same time, it served as a good deterrent.

After all, both master and disciple had boundless futures and heaven-defying combat power. Anyone who dared to rob them would have to be prepared for retaliation.

Zhi Meng nodded slightly upon hearing this: “Since the misunderstanding is resolved, this Empress will take her leave. We shall meet again.”

If the three wanted to make a move, Zhi Meng would accompany them to the end.

If they didn’t, she didn’t want to make enemies for no reason.

As for the Immortal King she killed, he was dead, and to an Immortal Emperor, it was utterly insignificant.

“Fellow Daoist, please wait!”

Yu Fan flashed to block Zhi Meng’s path, cupping his fists and saying, “Lin Xuan has found an ancient dojo and is currently comprehending the Dao there. I wonder if Fellow Daoist has any intention of having a match with him?”

Zhi Meng looked at him deeply and said, “What do you mean by that, Fellow Daoist?”

“If Fellow Daoist wishes to spar with him, we can form an alliance with Fellow Daoist. After the matter is concluded, we only want his Life and Death Wheel.”

The Life and Death Wheel was a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure of the time-type, its preciousness self-evident.

Apart from those few innate treasures, there was no treasure more precious than the Life and Death Wheel.

This excluded Gu Qing’s and Zhi Meng’s treasures.

The treasures these two possessed had never appeared before; they had never even heard of them.

They didn’t seem like treasures nurtured by the Eternal Universe at all.

“Good! Lead the way!”

Zhi Meng barely hesitated. With her current strength, she had no fear even if she was ganged up on.

As for the alliance Yu Fan mentioned, she wouldn’t believe a single word of it.

It was nothing more than coveting her treasures, wanting to lead her before Lin Xuan to watch them fight to mutual destruction, so they could reap the benefits.

Once she fell into a disadvantage, these three would absolutely attack her without hesitation.

Similarly, once these three were injured, Zhi Meng would also unhesitatingly kill them and plunder their entire fortune… The four of them, each with their own calculations, arrived in the void in silence.

Yuan Yao threw out a few formation flags, and ripples immediately appeared in the void, splitting open a portal.

The moment Zhi Meng entered, a profound Dao rhyme washed over her.

She saw a White Jade Dojo floating in the void, covered with mysterious great dao divine runes, exuding a profound Dao rhyme.

“This is a dojo refined by a Great God at the beginning of creation. It is extraordinarily profound; even an Immortal Emperor can comprehend the Great Dao within it. It’s just a pity that Lin Xuan has refined it.”

Yun Yao looked regretful.

This White Jade Dojo contained the Dao and principles of an ancient Great God.

Obtaining the White Jade Dojo was equivalent to obtaining the inheritance of an ancient Great God.

“As expected of the Child of Destiny.” Zhi Meng’s gaze directly met Lin Xuan in the White Jade Dojo, her expression solemn.

Immortal Emperor Second Layer early-stage.

Lin Xuan’s breakthrough speed was too fast.

Before entering the secret realm, Lin Xuan was only at the Immortal Emperor mid-stage. Only twenty years had passed, and he had already crossed the late-stage, complete-stage, and broken through to the Immortal Emperor Second Layer realm.

The speed of his breakthrough was simply unbelievable.

Zhi Meng knew without asking that Lin Xuan had absolutely obtained a heaven-shaking fortune here.

Otherwise, with Lin Xuan’s aptitude, even ascending to the Immortal Realm would be difficult; any genius from the lower realms would surpass Lin Xuan by a thousand or even ten thousand times.

Lin Xuan seemed to sense something, stopped his Dao comprehension, his gaze penetrating the void, meeting Zhi Meng’s, his eyes gradually turning cold.

A terrifying killing intent spread through the dojo, causing even the Immortal Emperors present to feel a chill in their hearts.

The White Jade Dojo, permeated with Dao rhyme, instantly fell silent, as if time itself had stopped.

The Immortal Emperors’ eyes flickered, eagerly anticipating the two fighting to the death.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Zhi Meng actually turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

She did want to kill Lin Xuan, that was true.

Zhi Meng also had absolute confidence in her ability to suppress Lin Xuan and the other Immortal Emperors.

However, Lin Xuan had obtained the White Jade Dojo, which was an inherited treasure left by an ancient Great God.

If the White Jade Dojo could communicate with the great dao divine runes in the secret realm, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After all, the great dao divine runes contained supreme power, capable of killing Immortal Emperors below the Seventh Layer.

Zhi Meng would be crazy to choose to fight Lin Xuan to the death in the secret realm.

At this moment, Zhi Meng felt extremely fortunate.

It was good that she had sought him out, rather than being sought out by Lin Xuan.

The Child of Destiny truly could not be judged by common sense; a moment of carelessness, and his strength could surpass hers, possessing trump cards capable of killing her.

“This…”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They never expected Zhi Meng to be intimidated before the fight, which didn’t fit Zhi Meng’s character.

After all, they had witnessed how strong and domineering Zhi Meng was.

Even when besieged by over a dozen of them and falling into a disadvantage, she showed no intention of fleeing.

“Damn it…”

Lin Xuan’s indifferent face instantly cracked.

The moment he saw Zhi Meng, Lin Xuan had already decided which divine abilities to use.

This time, he would definitely kill Zhi Meng.

He wouldn’t even let go of the helpers Zhi Meng brought, suppressing them forcefully.

A world-shaking battle was brewing frantically in his mind.

Lin Xuan had already thought that he might be evenly matched with Zhi Meng, that he might get injured, and that he might be outnumbered.

But it didn’t matter, he had a trump card for a decisive kill.

The White Jade Dojo could summon the great dao divine runes from the secret realm. When fighting to the last drop of blood, he would use the White Jade Dojo to kill Zhi Meng.

Lin Xuan was fully prepared, just waiting for Zhi Meng to make the first move and provoke him.

Who knew Zhi Meng would just leave without a word.

Lin Xuan felt like cursing at this moment.

If he had known this, he wouldn’t have waited for Zhi Meng to make the first move… Looking at the direction Zhi Meng disappeared, Lin Xuan’s face was ashen, his heart frantic.

This was an excellent opportunity to get rid of Zhi Meng; if he missed it, there wouldn’t be another.

Unfortunately, Zhi Meng not only escaped the Tiangang Secret Realm but also the entire secret realm.

If he chased after her, it was unknown who would win.

He had experienced Zhi Meng’s abilities; her divine abilities were unbelievably powerful, and she possessed many supreme treasures.

Even with all his trump cards and over a dozen Immortal Emperors besieging her, they couldn’t take down Zhi Meng.

This showed Zhi Meng’s power, and that at higher realms, numbers didn’t necessarily matter.

If someone’s divine ability covered an area, it didn’t matter how many people you had; if you couldn’t defeat them, you just couldn’t.

“Um… shall we continue comprehending the Dao?”

At this moment, a weak voice sounded in the field.

It was Xiao Hongdou.

She really couldn’t bear Lin Xuan’s terrifying killing intent anymore, even if Lin Xuan wasn’t actively showing it.

But an Immortal Emperor’s single thought could change heaven and earth; his will was the will of heaven, and what he thought in his heart, the rules of heaven and earth had to change for him.

She was just a small Immortal King late-stage; how could she bear the reflection of an Immortal Emperor’s killing intent?

At this moment, Xiao Hongdou’s face was pale, her delicate body trembling, as if her whole being was about to shatter.

Lin Xuan heard this, turned to look at her, and immediately reined in all his killing intent, gritting his teeth: “Continue… my ass.”

“Then stop having killing intent! Don’t you know I’m an Immortal King? Wouldn’t your conscience hurt if I accidentally got killed by your killing intent?” Xiao Hongdou said indignantly.

“Aren’t you still alive?” Lin Xuan said, speechless.

“Although I’m not dead, your killing intent just now froze my divine soul, and my Dao heart was almost scared to collapse by you…”

“Alright, alright!”

“Take this. It should comfort your shattered Dao heart, right?”

Seeing Xiao Hongdou about to throw another tantrum, her little mouth chattering non-stop.

Lin Xuan, with a headache, threw out a bead. Inside, it sealed the Dao rhyme of an entire innate formation, enough for Xiao Hongdou to cultivate to Immortal Emperor.

Of course, wanting to break through to Immortal Emperor wasn’t just about having resources.

Everything still depended on Xiao Hongdou’s fortune; if she comprehended, she could break through.

If not, she could only remain at Immortal King complete-stage.

“Hehe! Thank you, Master!”

Xiao Hongdou’s apricot eyes lit up. She quickly put away the bead and thanked him happily.

This scene made Ji Fan grit his teeth.

He was also Lin Xuan’s disciple, and he was just as scared. Why didn’t Lin Xuan give him some compensation?

Ji Fan looked at Lin Xuan eagerly.

But Lin Xuan didn’t even glance at him.

Dao rhyme wasn’t like rotten cabbage; it was of great use to him too, and he didn’t even have enough for himself, so how could he bear to give it to Ji Fan?

“Empress Sister, Jinhua Sister…”

“Why didn’t you protect me just now?”

Xiao Hongdou’s eyes darted around. She wiggled her little bottom, squeezed between the two Empresses, and pouted, tugging at their sleeves to act spoiled.

The two came back to their senses. Jinhua dotingly stroked her head: “Sorry, big sister was engrossed in thought just now.”

She and Empress Tianyi had just arrived here and were about to inquire about the situation, to see if these people were Lin Xuan’s allies, and then send a message to Gu Qing.

Who knew Zhi Meng would come killing, and then leave so decisively, making her temporarily forget to protect Xiao Hongdou.

Empress Tianyi glanced at her, a smile appearing in her golden eyes.

A small bottle appeared in her jade hand, and a rich innate Dao rhyme diffused from the bottle’s mouth.

“Wow! Empress Sister is the best to me! Long live Empress Sister…”

Xiao Hongdou’s small hands moved so fast they left afterimages. She snatched the jade bottle, capped it, and put it into her storage ring, all in one smooth motion.

She buried her head in Empress Tianyi’s ample bosom and snuggled.

“Are you cursing me?” Empress Tianyi pinched her ear, her tone displeased.

Long live? That’s for short-lived people!

“Bah!”

“Empress Sister will live forever, transcend the cycle of life and death, without birth or destruction…”

Watching the three women frolic, a smile unconsciously appeared on Lin Xuan’s face.

Although Xiao Hongdou was born with a rebellious spirit and no loyalty, she wasn’t an evil person; she was simply a lively treasure.

Over the past ten thousand years, she had brought him endless joy. When bored, teasing Xiao Hongdou made him feel incredibly refreshed.

Ji Fan took in the changes in the few people, couldn’t help but clench his fists, his nails digging into his flesh.

Lin Xuan was too biased.

They were both direct disciples, yet their treatment was as different as heaven and earth.

He respected Lin Xuan as a true master, and regarded Jinhua and Empress Tianyi as elders, yet the three treated him as if he were invisible.

Instead, they were extremely good to Xiao Hongdou, the ‘traitor,’ giving her all the treasures.

The actions of the three truly chilled his heart.

“Tsk tsk, how lively.”

Gu Qing walked leisurely through the void, shrinking the ground into inches. As he spoke, he had already arrived at the high platform, his gaze assessing Lin Xuan and the White Jade Dojo.

The more he looked, the more startled he became.

Immortal Emperor Second Layer early-stage.

Lin Xuan’s speed was simply unbelievable.

One had to know that for Immortal Emperors in the world, breaking through a small realm was a huge leap, taking at least tens of thousands or even millions of years.

And the First Layer realm and Second Layer realm were domains of different heavens, impossible to break through without great fortune.

The reason why the people present broke through so quickly was because they were reincarnations of powerful beings.

Also, they themselves had very deep accumulated foundations; the reason they couldn’t attain the Dao of Immortal Emperor for so long was simply because the rules of heaven and earth didn’t allow it.

But they had been exploring the Immortal Emperor domain, accumulating their foundations.

Lin Xuan, on the other hand, had only been reborn for over ten thousand years and had directly broken through to Immortal Emperor.

Furthermore, in just over twenty years, he had crossed from Immortal Emperor First Layer mid-stage, through late-stage and complete-stage, to break through to the Second Layer realm.

Breaking through realms was as simple as eating and drinking for him.

Yet, Lin Xuan was not a mere figurehead; his strength was powerful, his foundation solid, far surpassing Immortal Emperors of the same rank.

Thinking this, Gu Qing even felt a little envious of Lin Xuan.

He had cultivated in seclusion in the Boundless Space for ten thousand years, yet he was still at the First Layer complete-stage, unable to achieve enlightenment and break through to the Second Layer realm.

He hadn’t even touched upon the profundities of the Second Layer realm.

The Great Dao, its nature unknown, profound and mysterious, the gateway to all wonders.

If one comprehended, one comprehended. If one didn’t achieve enlightenment, cultivating in seclusion for hundreds of thousands of years would still not allow one to enter a completely new domain; at most, one would only accumulate some foundation.

His Chaotic Immeasurable Great Dao was too profound and vast; breaking through it was a thousand or even ten thousand times more difficult than for other Immortal Emperors.

The only benefit was that the Chaotic Immeasurable Great Dao had no upper limit; as long as enough time was accumulated, when the cup was full, a breakthrough would naturally occur.

“Gu, Qing…”

Lin Xuan suddenly stood up, and the heavens and earth roared, boundless and vast power suppressing down.

An Immortal Emperor’s rage, the heavens unleash killing intent, and the rules of heaven and earth must change for him.

Boundless killing intent gathered in the void, solidifying into substance, like peerless divine swords.

“Senior Uncle, we are fellow disciples after all, why such a big temper with me?”

Gu Qing stood proudly, possessing an aura that dominated the universe.

Facing Lin Xuan’s monstrous killing intent, Gu Qing remained composed, saying with a smile.

“Senior Uncle has great fortune indeed. Not only has your realm broken through, but you’ve also obtained the inheritance of an ancient Great God, capable of manipulating the great dao divine runes of the secret realm. This truly makes your nephew envious.”
